Feel free to email us at ocs@ecu.edu if we can help solve a problem or help you find someone that can help.

Academic Concerns

In most instances a student should begin by talking with the faculty member. If this discussion proves unsatisfactory the student may wish to discuss the issue with the department chair/director. If consultation with the department chair/director does not resolve the issue the student can contact the appropriate dean of the college.

The Office of the Dean of Students can provide guidance to a student who believes that there is reason to make an inquiry or complaint. The Dean of Student's office can assist the student by helping the student determine the nature of the complaint and/or the appropriate faculty or staff member or department to discuss/receive the initial complaint. http://www.ecu.edu/studentaffairs/dos/student-grievances-inquiries.cfm

If the student wishes to appeal, the process must be initiated in writing to the Tuition Refund Appeals Committee and the written appeal can be submitted to Office of the Registrar.
